To (I/ZZ 1071/0110 (It Ill/11]] concern.-

Be it known that we, IsAAo H. W'EINBERG, LOUIS HEYMAN, and IsAAo DITTENHEIMER. citizens of the United States, and residents of the borough of Manhattan, in the city and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Portable l/Vork-Stand, of which the following is a specification.

The object of this invention is to provide a work-stand which may be readily carried from place to place, which will be light and ornamental, and which may be folded into a very compact bundle when not in use.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents the stand in side elevation in its open position as in use. Fig. 2 is a vertical central section through the same. Fig. 3 is a top plan view of the stand, and Fig. 4 is a side view of the stand in its folded position.

The stick is herein shown as comprising a lowersection 1 and an upper section 2, having a hinged connection 3 of any well-known or approved form, which hinge connection is provided with a sliding sleeve i for locking the sections of the stick in alinement. The upper section '2 of the stick is provided with a suitable handle 5 for use in carrying the stand from place to place.

A folding base is provided for the stand, which base in the present instance comprises a suitable framework composed of ribs 6 and rods 7. In the present instance the upper ends of the ribs 6 are hinged to a sliding sleeve 8 on the lower section 1 of the stick. The rods 7 are hinged at their inner ends to a stationary collar 9 on the stick and at their outer ends to the ribs 6. I

A suitable spring-catch 10 is provided for locking the base in its unfolded position. This base may be provided with a cover 11 of any suitable material for giving a more attractive appearance thereto.

A folding basket is shown, which basket comprises a cover 12, a lining 12*, ribs 13, and rods 14. Theinner ends of the rods 14 are hinged to a sliding sleeve 15 and their outer ends to the ribs 13. The lower ends of the ribs 13 are hinged to a collar 16, fixed on the upper section 2 of the stick.

A spring-catch 17 is provided for locking the basket in itsopen position.

The lining 12"" of the basket may be provided on its interior with one or more pockets 18 for containing such small articles as may be desired. In the present instance we have shown two of these pockets; but it is to be understood that the number may be varied to suit different requirements.

'The lining 12* of the basket covers the rods 14: and is secured snugly around the sliding collar 15, so as to prevent the fancy work or other contents of the basket from coming in contact with the said rods.

It is to be understood that the basket and base may be ornamented by ruffles or in any other manner to add attractiveness to the stand.

hat we claim is A portable work-stand comprising a stick having an upper section and a lower section hinged together, means for locking the sections in alinement, a folding base carried by the lower section and a folding basket carried by the upper section.

In testimony that we claim the foregoing as our invention we have signed our names, in presence of two witnesses, this 9th ,day of November, 1904.
